Ships Lyrics

You’ve been around me long enough to know that

I chase the clouds, don’t look where I’m going

So lay back with me, look at white shapes in the sky

They say beauty lies in the beholder’s eye

So tell me if I can’t see what’s really there

‘Cause all my ships are sailing, but I’m still at the shore

So darling, if you’re waiting, what are you waiting for

What are you waiting for

Forty-thousand minutes and you’re still on my mind

But I’m still sitting here, wasting my time

Waiting, waiting, oh waiting, but what am I waiting for

Pushing it back, pushing it back, can’t be contained anymore

The water is rising, floodgates are open, and we’re drowning, drowning

We’ve got high ambitions, but no expectations, maybe we’re friends with potential

May I admire you again today? All these movies, words I’d like to say

We don’t know what we’re searching for, I can’t remember what I’m singing for

‘Cause all my ships are sailing, but I’m still at the shore

So darling, if you’re waiting, what are you waiting for

What are you waiting for

Forty-thousand minutes and you’re still on my mind

But I’m still sitting here, wasting my time

Waiting, waiting, oh waiting, but what am I waiting for

‘Cause all my ships are sailing, but I’m still at the shore

So darling, if you’re waiting, what are you waiting for

What are you waiting for

Forty-thousand minutes and you’re still on my mind

But I’m still sitting here, wasting my time

Waiting, waiting, oh waiting

Well, I don’t know in what way I do

But I’m definitely missing you

Twenty thousand hours and you’re still on my mind
